Our values matter: Let’s boycott together

I am dismayed that we are seeing families without enough food to eat while also losing health care. I am disheartened that our veterans are losing food benefits and access to health insurance, as well. I am distressed that corporations are not supporting good, hardworking people because they are rolling back on diversity and inclusion. All the while, major U.S. corporations are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a lavish, kingly ballroom that panders to the current president’s ego.

Think what that money could do for the less fortunate in our country. If you are dismayed, also, join me, and thousands of other Americans, in boycotting major corporations from Nov. 27 to Dec. 3. Let’s show our dissatisfaction by just not buying.

It’s putting or “not putting” our money where are values are. Boycott Amazon, Apple, Meta, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, McDonald’s, Uber, Coinbase, Robinhood and other big chains that support Trump policies that hurt the American people.

As John Schwarz of People’s Union USA says, “the safest, smartest way people can create change is through economic protests, chosen with precision to affect the companies that profit off our backs” – those companies that we support but are not in turn supporting our values. Join the protest. Shop only local from Nov. 27 to Dec. 3.
